Is a new front door subsidized?

If you are planning to renovate your existing front door, there are various funding options available to you. A distinction is made between subsidies from the BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Controls) and the granting of promotional loans by the KfW (Reconstruction Loan Corporation). Grants Since 01.01.2021, investment grants for energy-efficient refurbishment measures are no longer funded by KfW but by BAFA. If the renovation of your front door is an individual measure and not part of a complete renovation, you have the option of applying for grants from BAFA as a private individual or homeowners' association. Funding is available for doors that make a positive contribution to the energy-efficiency of the building. The minimum investment for energy-efficient front doors is EUR 2,000 and is subsidized by 20%. Promotional loans If you would like to apply for a promotional loan to replace your front door, KfW offers different programs depending on the focus. The 'Energy-efficient renovation - loan' program is recommended if you are aiming for a KfW Efficiency House standard. The selected standard is decisive for the amount of funding. Alternatively, the 'Burglary protection - investment grant' program can also offer an attractive solution. Here, measures to increase burglary resistance, such as the installation of a burglar-resistant front door, are subsidized with up to EUR 1,600. Please note The involvement of an energy consultant is always a prerequisite for subsidies to improve energy-efficiency. For all funding programs, the application for funding must be submitted before the front door is purchased.

Which material should be chosen for a front door?

Front doors are available in different materials such as wood, plastic or aluminium. Each material has its advantages and disadvantages. In many respects, aluminium has proven to be the ideal material. This is because aluminium scores points for its high stability, warp-resistant properties, excellent thermal insulation values, burglary protection, design diversity, durability, low maintenance and particularly easy care.

How important is soundproofing for front doors?

In addition to burglary protection, heat insulation and design, soundproofing also plays an important role when choosing a front door these days, as noise protection contributes significantly to a healthy living environment. Depending on the residential location, nearby roads, airports or railroad lines can cause considerable noise levels. Depending on the local conditions, appropriate soundproofing should be provided for your front door.

How high should the insulation value of a front door be?

The insulation value of a new front door is specified by the Building Energy Act (GEG), formerly the Energy Saving Ordinance (EnEV), and stipulates a maximum heat transfer coefficient of UD = 1.8 W/m2K. The lower the heat transfer coefficient of an entrance door, the better its insulating properties.

When should a front door be replaced?

The best time to replace your old front door depends on various factors. In addition to possible repair costs in the event of damage, changing design preferences, energy-efficiency, soundproofing and burglary protection all play a decisive role. The denser and better insulated the front door is, the less heat can escape from the inside to the outside and the less energy you need to heat or air-condition your home. Security and an increased need for security are also important aspects that can lead to an old door being replaced.

What needs to be considered when buying a front door?

An entrance door makes a significant contribution to the security, energy-efficiency, soundproofing and appearance of your home. Therefore, the purchase of a new entrance door should be carefully planned. To make your planning easier, we have put together a short checklist with all the important points.
